Look. Is anyone shocked I was obsessed with the monster anthology that was titled 'Bound by the Monster?' Don't go in looking for HEA plot and romance. All of these were straight up steamy and delicious, some just also carried a little plot too.
Lick - Evangeline Priest
Evangeline Priest is quickly sliding into the "must read anything and everything by" author list. Naga and demi-fae, this was probably one of my favorites from this book and incredibly unique. Definitely hope we get more.
The Gentleman's Girl - Clio Evans
I knew I needed Clio's story. Set in the Baristaverse, we meet The Gentleman, a mothman instructor, and Baby Girl, his partner. These classes aren't your average class, though, and instead center around pleasing your female partner with Baby Girl as the one he demonstrates on. Incredibly hot and steamy, and only intensified my love for mothmen.
Slither - Atlas Rose
Blair is banished to a limbo of sorts for saving a Gorgon child, but Gorgon Achar has come to take her. Incredibly steamy with an interesting plot, there is a cliffhanger that wasn't devastating to throw my kindle but enough to have me wanting more.
Trained by the Incubus - Godiva Glenn
A darker read, we follow two demons who take a human hostage and bring her to be their submissive. There's some time jumps and a memory loss.
The Sky Below - Y.D. La Mar
I always love YD La Mar, and this was no exception. Jasleen falls through the human world into one full of monsters and finds herself saved by Ugoki. Her only problem doesn't lie in that he is her mate, but that they must work together if they want to survive. Sweet yet spicy, I would love to see more of this.
Only You - Cassie Alexander
I know every time I start a book with some weird insect being I'm like "absolutely not, no" but then I read it and was like "I mean maybe." Definitely need a visual because picturing the mantid from WoW wasn't helpful. From horrifying to captivating, Cassie Alexander is now on my radar.
Tamed by the Triceratops - V.T. Bonds
Dinosaurs and size difference. Listen, I don't know what to say to not give this away but if you're into size difference you need this.
The Devil's Afoot on Mischief Night - Vera Valentine
Vera Valentine is always a favorite and to get to adventure back into the world of Carnal Cryptids to see Desi and JD was wonderful. Primal play is always top of my list and I knew she would deliver.
A Family Affair - C.M. Nascosta
CMN's was probably my most anticipated story. Age gape, taboo, human and a dragonborn with multiple... appendages and creative tail use.

A great mix!
This was a great mix of some dark short stories and some sweet ones… with a lot of spice thrown in them all. I hope to see some of these turned into full stories!

A collection of high heat erotic tales for monster lovers of all flavors – naga, aliens, gorgon, mothman, dino-hybrids, incubi, cryptids and more. The authors of these stories are a who’s who of monster authors – every one is an author who I love to read and having them all in one collection?! There’s plenty of kinks to go around – you name it, it’s probably in here. Have to confess there were a couple of things I even had to look up!
Lick - Evangeline Priest:
Danica (h), half-human and half-fae, produces and sells her aphrodisiac tears to a variety of clients. She finds herself drawn to Kirill (H), a naga crime lord shifter, who exclusively wants to taste her tears of fear and then wants to taste even more of her. Hot and sexy naga quickie with special peen.
The Gentleman’s Girl - Clio Evans
Her Gentleman/Sir (H), a mothman, pleasure his Baby Girl (h) before a class of monsters learning how to pleasure their human. Ultra-hot and steamy lessons with D/s, edging, toys, flogging and more, including some Sir and Baby Girl private time. Hot, hot, hot!
Slither - Atlas Rose
Blair (h), a mortal woman, sent to a sex club in the immortal plane after being betrayed by those closest to her, finds herself in the arms of Achar (H), a Gorgon on the run. She’s turned down all the other immortals until he comes along with his snakes and tentacles. High heat as they only have a short time to get to know one another with danger on the way.
Trained by the Incubus - Godiva Glenn
Emma (h) awakens to find that she’s naked and bound in a sex dungeon to be trained by Therris (H) and Vinos (H), incubi demons of lust and pleasure. Hot, sexy menage action with bondage as they give and take from one another.
The Sky Below - YD La Mar
Jasleen (h) flees an attack on her gypsy encampment and fall through an underground hole into another world. Ugoki (H), a monstrous beast with crocodile like skin, spikes, and a tail, protects her from another male and takes her to his tribe. Jasleen unwittingly claims Ugoki as her mate to cave him from being punished for his actions. Monstrously hot sexy action for Jasleen and Ugoki, aided by his special eggplant. Lovely how much he cares for his mate from the sky.
Only You - Cassie Alexander
Princess Droma is aboard a spaceship when it’s overrun by the deadly Skarsarak, black multilegged aliens with multiple claspers/claws – think Xenomorph. She’s trapped and knowing that multiple creatures will claim her, she convinces the Skarsarak that finds her to be the only one to use her body for his pleasure. As Droma and Struugox (H) get to know one another, their relationship deepens and she comes to know the truth about her father, the King, and his actions. Amazingly hot alien sexy action, but oh the ending is so bittersweet.
Tamed by the Triceratops - V.T. Bonds
Punished for rejecting and injuring an alpha, omega Verral is exiled to Planet 696 and upon arrival discovers its full of dinosaurs. She quickly attracts the attention of an alpha human-triceratops hybrid intent on protecting, claiming, and making her his. Yummy dino alpha-omega quickie with slick, knotting, nesting and more.
The Devil’s Afoot on Mischief Night - Vera Valentine
Desi (h) and JD (H), the Jersey Devil, an incubus demon are getting ready on mischief night for a party when by mutually pleasurable agreement there’s a change in plans. Desi finds herself back on the Pine Barrens for another chase with JD after her and lots of hot and steamy action – bondage, candy play, D/s, gagging, knotting and more. Fun to see Desi and JD again.
A Family Affair - C.M. Nascosta
Emma (h) is at her dragonborn stepsister’s wedding and spying an older attractive dragonborn male decides to relieve her dry spell with a wedding hook-up. Ivis (H) is game too and wastes to time in getting to know the younger woman, unfortunately they’re interrupted with introductions that they’re stepsiblings. A powerful storm and a cabin mix-up find Emma and Ivis getting to know one another on a much deeper level. Hot, sexy steps dragonborn action – tail and special peen make things even better.

Some stories I liked others I wish I skipped.
While reading I learned that I seem to need more background info about the characters before jumping into the smut. Or if we do jump into it give me a little more info after.
A few stories really confused. I sometimes couldn't quite grasp what was going on or why. Bit overall it was ok.
Here are a few quotes I liked⬇️
“You’re dripping magic, Danica…”
“I want to taste you elsewhere...”
“Oh Jesus,” she whispered.
“He’s not here, female.” I stepped closer, my body writhing. “It’s just you and me. No one to protect you. No one to save you.”
My mate.
What did I ever do to deserve such a blessing for a mate?
He will give me his everything. Always.
Enjoy

A collection of short stories by various different authors, this book showcases monsters from dragons to the Jersey Devil to a mothman and definitely leaned kink heavy. I had a lot of fun with this. The writing isn't particularly sophisticated, but I don't exactly think that's what monster erotica needs to be. My favorite stories were Clio Evan's and C.M. Nascosta.

I love me some monster romance. And Clio Evans is the master. In this story you have a human and creature teaching other creatures how to satisfy their human female partners. They are in a Dom/Sub dynamic and it focuses on overall pleasure and things added in they toy and dynamic aspect. It isn’t just ‘informational’ but also very spicy. My brain went to the teaching as I like to see how authors do ut whether it’s cursory, in-dept, accurate etc. Next story I read in this anthology is a new to me author YD Lamar. I really enjoyed this story. I’m not sure their background but they used a term talking about a group of people that is considered offensive but the way used was accurate to how it is used. Beyond that the story was amazing had a play on Alice in Wonderland that I enjoyed and the spice was chefs kiss
